Tang Ping never thought that one day when the news of having a child spread, so many people would come to give gifts.
On the first day, it was just the villagers of Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village.
The next day, people from Chang'an City came one after another.
"Sir, Mr. Li from Li's Medicinal Materials is here!"
"Sir, shopkeeper Wang, who makes leather goods in the west of the city, is here!"
"Sir, Boss Bai from Luoyang Chamber of Commerce is here!"
"Sir, Fatty Liu from Bazhen Tower is here!"
"Sir, shopkeeper Chen from the Shudu Chamber of Commerce is here!"
Tang Ping looked at Wang Qingluan speechlessly. He swore that he only wanted to accompany Wang Qingluan. As a result, after he returned from the palace with Wang Qingluan today, there was an endless stream of guests at home.
Because it is not easy to enter the small courtyard of Tangping in Shanghe Village now.
Just outside Shanghe Village, there are two groups of people, the Secret Spy Division and the Xuanjia Cavalry.
Therefore, these businessmen could only send a message and wait for Tang Ping's consent before they could come in.
Come on, there are too many people here, and Tang Ping is really at a loss for what to do.
Otherwise, they are here to congratulate me. Although it is not without the intention of building a relationship, it would be a bit offending if I shut them out.
Many of these people are indeed on good terms with me, and many times they have given me a lot of help in Datang.
"Go ahead, I'm not that squeamish." Wang Qingluan pushed him: "I have Luyi Xiaoqing, Zhuiyue, and Yaoqin here to accompany me. It'll be okay."
"Okay, I'll go out and send them away!" Tang Ping said helplessly, then nodded to Yun Zhuiyue, Lu Yaoqin and others who also came from Chang'an to congratulate him, and walked out.
Good guy, Tang Ping was shocked when he arrived at the entrance of the village.
How to describe this?
Right now, the entrance to the village is blocked by carts and other things pulling things.
The last time I saw such a convoy was the grain and grass brigade pulling heavy baggage during the attack on the Turks.
This shows how many people came to give gifts.
"Shopkeeper Tang is out!"
"Shopkeeper Tang, congratulations!"
"Shopkeeper Tang, long time no see!"
Those who can stand in the front are all big and respectable merchants in Chang'an.
Many of these people were a little dissatisfied with Tang Ping at first, because he was the one who pushed the court to start collecting commercial taxes.
But after paying commercial taxes, these businesses discovered, hey, it smells really good!
Because after paying taxes, the various conveniences provided by the court allowed them to earn more.
Take shopkeeper Wang who makes leather goods as an example. The last time he went to Xue Yantuo's place in the west, the leather goods he collected for a large price were confiscated by Xue Yantuo's department.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get his goods back. Finally, in desperation, shopkeeper Wang returned to the border of Datang and found Li Xuanba who happened to be guarding the border there.
Li Xuanba only asked: "Have you paid the commercial tax?" When shopkeeper Wang showed Li Xuanba the certificate issued by the Ministry of Accounts after paying the commercial tax in the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuanba only left two words. "Wait."
Just when Shopkeeper Wang was feeling anxious and uneasy.
Li Xuanba led 20,000 fine cavalry into Xue Yantuo's hinterland, but Xue Yantuo was shocked.
You must know that the Tang Dynasty has been firing cannons on the border recently. Xue Yantuo asked, and Li Xuanba said that he was testing how far the Tang Dynasty's powerful cannon could hit.
The direction of the bombardment was Xue Yantuo. What did this experiment mean?
Xue Yantuo was on tenterhooks every day, fearing that Datang would come over.
He quickly sent someone to ask Li Xuanba why he broke into Xue Yantuo's hinterland.
Li Xuanba only said that he was getting the goods, and then it took another day to deliver the goods to Li Xuanba's camp gate little by little. In addition, he also gave a lot of cattle and sheep, saying It was Li Xuanba, a laborer, who made such a trip to replenish the health of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Shopkeeper Wang himself didn't expect that the lost goods could be retrieved so easily.
At that time, he wanted to leave 10% to Li Xuanba as a thank you, but Li Xuanba only said: "You have paid taxes!"
At that time, shopkeeper Wang was extremely grateful to Tang Ping for persuading him to pay the business tax, otherwise his work for the past two or three years would have been in vain.
Today he was also the first one to come to Shanghe Village and took the first photo.
When he saw Tang Ping coming out, he immediately stepped forward, but the men on the Xuanjia Cavalry tried to stop him.
Tang Ping quickly said: "It's okay, it's okay, we are all our own!"
As soon as he said this, shopkeeper Wang and others burst into laughter. Did you hear that? Ping Guogong always said that they were his own people!
This is also the reason why these businessmen call him Shopkeeper Tang no matter what his position is, which is affectionate.
"I heard that Shopkeeper Wang just came back from the west. What's going on today..."
"Hey, Shopkeeper Tang, look at what you said, it's such a big happy event for you, let alone the west side, I have to rush back even if I'm in the west, hahaha!"
Shopkeeper Wang made a joke, and then proudly took a gift list that was almost one meter long from the hand of his attendant.
"Shopkeeper Tang must not back down from a small gift!"
Tang Ping looked at the gift slip that was stuffed into his hand. Well, the gift slip was quite thin, but the two lines on his head read two white tiger skins and two white bear skins.
This is also in Datang. If you have to go through the back door of the convenience store and have these things in your hands, you will be in trouble.
As if afraid that Tang Ping would not accept it, Shopkeeper Wang handed the gift list to Tang Ping and said goodbye, "There are still a lot of things to do in Chang'an. Seeing that Shopkeeper Tang is busy here today, I won't bother you much. When Shopkeeper Tang is free, let's go again." Let’s go to Xihelou for a drink!”
As soon as Shopkeeper Wang retreated, Li Yuanwai, who was in the medicinal materials business, came up. The same words, the same small gift, but the old wild ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Shouwu, Polygonatum and so on were a little conspicuous on the gift list.
Tang Ping originally wanted to invite everyone back to the courtyard to have two cups of tea since everyone was here, but in the end, these people left the "small gift" and left immediately.
Tang Ping seemed to have come to the village specifically to collect his strength. Gradually, the "thin gifts" in his hands became thicker, and the wealthy businessman from Chang'an who gave the gifts was almost gone.
"Pingguo Gong received a lot of gifts from you!"
A voice came, and Tang Ping saw that it was the old man Yu Shinan.
No one stopped the old man when he came over. After all, even in the Xiande Hall, he went in right away.
"These are small gifts from friends!"
"Hehe!" The old man chuckled. The meaning is self-evident. In the entire Chang'an City, Tang Ping is probably the only official who dares to accept such a small gift from a wealthy merchant in Chang'an. Even Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji probably don't dare to do this. .
"Okay, I don't care if you accept the gift or not. I just want to ask, what do Duke Ping and the young masters who came the day before yesterday mean?"
"Huh?" What Yu Shinan meant, to be honest, Tang Ping didn't understand what he meant.
"But my handwriting, Yu Shinan's, is not as good as that boy Chu Suiliang's? I heard that Duke Ping and Young Master Shaoqun asked that boy Chu Suiliang to write a lot of words for you."
"Uh..." Tang Ping was dumbfounded. We are familiar with Chu Suiliang, so of course we should go to him. You are a big boss, and you are almost old enough to be our grandfather. We are not very familiar with you, so how can we have the nerve to ask you for help? ?
"Don't act stupid, I'm asking you a question!"
Yu Shinan asked with a fake face.
Tang Ping had no choice but to tell the truth: "Isn't it because Mr. Yu is usually busy with official duties? If Mr. Yu is willing to keep his calligraphy treasure, Tang Ping will naturally be happy with it."
"Okay, here, take it!" Yu Shinan waved his hand, and the person behind him presented a picture scroll.
Tang Ping didn't expect that he was already prepared, so he could only accept it honestly.
"I heard that boy Chu Suiliang wrote a calligraphy for you in exchange for a bottle of good wine?"
Tang Ping realized, could it be that Yu Shinan also wanted to drink? No, for an old man like him, he has never refused to buy wine in his store.
He nodded honestly and asked, "I'm going to get some bottles of good wine for Mr. Yu!"
"I don't want wine!"
"Then..." Tang Ping looked at the old man and liked to mince words when speaking.
"Hey, I'm getting older. I usually feel tired of writing official documents of about a hundred words..."
After saying that, Yu Shinan looked at Tang Ping. Tang Ping recalled the old man typing on the computer in the side hall of the palace, and finally understood.
"Mr. Yu, wait. I will send a laptop to your house in the next two days."
Even Yu Shinan couldn't bring those given to Li Shimin out of the side hall, so he decided to go to Tang Ping.
That thing only costs about 3,000 per unit anyway, which is really nothing to Tang Ping now. As Yu Shinan said, he has one at home and can really type a lot of words in a day with his typing speed.
